RI: Skins to use more press coverage this year

I can't argue with the results we got on defense last year, because we had a pretty good season. But when I think back to one of the best Redskin defenses of all time, the 2004 season, there was no cushion given. We played up on the WRs and stopped the run like nobody's business as our CBs were involved in a lot of run stops. We also didn't give up much over the top because we kept teams in so many 3rd and longs, and then brought the blitz. I like that aggressive style.

This year we can be aggressive with our CBs and still get the pressure on the QB without blitzing. That's what two stud DEs can do for you.
